A moment of tranquillity

August 1, 2016 by Alan Stainer

A moment of tranquillity

What I like about where I live, is that a simple walk to the local shops can turn up little gems like this. Sadly the presence of rubbish in the river mars what would otherwise be a perfect escape from civilisation (if only for a few minutes).

It is still hard to believe that I was only a few feet away from houses and the like. I wish more walks in urban areas were like this.

    Sadly, the closer you are to civilisation, the more litter you’ll find :(

    Especially sad when there are bins dotted around all over the place. It takes hardly any effort at all to keep hold of something until you come across a bin.

    The good news is, I am teaching my kids not to be litter bugs. I just hope they are paying attention!

    Daise Flowers interesting fact about Storrington, David Sedaris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sedaris) lives within walking distance and is often seen walking the streets picking up litter. More people need to follow his lead.
